A lot of this dream involves my home setting so through out the dream, my expectations are to see familiar landmarks only to have things completely different.
It started with me getting ready for high school and running late to catch the bus. To my horror I'm just about to step outside when I see the school train (Yes a yellow train acting as a bus) go past my house. I panic and run outside, but am too late. But then I realize I could drive to work. So I grab the keys and hop onto my bycicle (yep that's right) and start peddling off towards school. The odd ball thing about this is that I'm dressed in a mini skirt and blouse. Not attire for a bike or something I usually wear. But it seemed to have no impact.
I know how to get there, but in the dream it is as if all the roads have changed. There are a couple of times where I have to pause just to stare and figure out where I am. Especially the part where I'm riding down the road and see stop sign after stop sign that shouldn't be there. I sigh and keep going to imediately reach the railway bed that will take me right to the school. (The rails and such have been long removed and turned into a hiking trail).
Anyway, as I'm making my turn, my brother comes riding past at top speed on his bike and the race to school literally becomes a race to school. But he is faster and vanishes from view. I come up to the top of a hill and look down to see my (parents) house. I'm panicing because I'm going to be late and I am almost back to where I started. But I know I'm on the right path, taken the right turns and such, and decide to continue on the path anyway. As I get closer to the house it changes and becomes another house I have been looking for (I think the hill must have altered my perspective or something) as I drive past the house, I see a fence covered in hot pepper vines (hot peppers don't grow on vines) and my brother is just on the other side of the fence.
Next thing I know the path I'm on suddenly becomes a fun house & carnival I'm trying to make my way through with pedestrians and venders trying to stall me. I work my way to the end where I see one of my co-workers placing an order and commenting that it was her lunch. Frig I'm really late for school. But I reach the exit and right there is my school, so I race inside and down to the main office to sign myself in, and find out that the first bell for home rooms is about to ring. (meaning I'm late, but only by a couple of seconds)
BTW yeah I had coffee before I went to bed. So this is another of my wacky coffee dreams lol

It could be the coffee, but then again it doesn't have to be. I think it sounds like you might be having one of those funky moments of indecision when you feel as if you're being pulled in so many directions. There are the things that have always been so familiar to you, such as your home, school and family. But then there are points where things start to lose consistency and order...a sense of anxiety; the train/bus and the roads that suddenly aren't what they ought to be. Perhaps it's a way of your mind telling you to slow down, take stock of things in your life, or maybe it's time to get grounded, perhaps spend more or less time with your family.

I agree with the indecision, but also confusion about my path. The whole dream was me keeping to my path even though there were so many distractions attempting to lure me away or make me believe I had fallen off. Meanwhile, I hadn't and I had to trust my choices and instincts to get me to my destination.
Something to note as well. Until recent years, coffee had never been part of my usual routine, but is still limited to those early morning shifts. So for me to start craving it in the evening is already an indicator that something about me is out of sorts, and I need to figure it out.

So true. My cravings for coffee have always been sporadic anyway, usually when I see someone else drinking it. But that is an indicator that somethings a bit off with you. But indecision can definitely have an effect on your diet or state of mind. I try not to drink coffee at night because it tends to cause nervous energy, suddenly I'm up at midnight writing stories that don't make sense, drawing pictures that look like crap, and dying at video games on levels that I could normally do with my brain shut off.
As far as trusting your instincts go, well that is always fairly rough terrain, but we have to hope that we're making the right ones, even though we don't have the benefit of seeing the long range effects of them (which would be great and terrible all at once).
